Chapter 579 Surprise and Approval
For any player, the Podolov Cup and the O'Brien Cup will always be the two heaviest trophies in his career.The former represents the best and most dominant individual performance in the entire regular season; the latter represents the strongest team in a season and is known as the highest honor in the NBA.When everyone discusses whether a star can be called a superstar, the regular season MVP and the championship are always the two core honors.It is impossible to compare which of the two is more important, but both are indispensable.
In the history of the NBA, there are too many stars emerging from each era.But which are the real superstars that people call all-time-level and often mentioned?
Retired Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Kareem Jabbar, Elvin Johnson, Larry Bird, Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaq O'Neal, Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, and more.Of course, there are also active LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook who just got on this bus...
For these people, the regular season MVP+ championship is already standard!It is necessary not only to achieve individual performance to conquer the entire league, but also to bring the team to the top of the league.
Of course, there is another category, which will also be talked about by people.
Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Allen Iverson, Steve Nash…
These people are also superstars, and they also conquered the entire league with their performance.But when people mention them, there is always a sense of sadness, calling them "uncrowned kings".The championship has become an eternal regret!
Although the league is constantly developing, the basketball system and the rhythm of the game are also changing with the progress of the times, but it has to be admitted that no matter which season, the players who can win the MVP have nothing to say about their personal abilities .
Many years ago, the story of the league at that time was "one man, one city".Everyone believes that with their own abilities, they can defeat all enemies.Therefore, when selecting the MVP, the team's leading star should do his part.But now, it is becoming more and more difficult to win the championship. There are not many stars in a team, and it is impossible to make it to the end.After all, someone like James' is pretty much the only one now.
After James brought his talent to Miami that year, he directly stole Wade's limelight as the head star. MVP and FMVP belong to James.Boss, who originally belonged to the MVP ranks, also fell down.Of course, they all got what they wanted.It's like a fair deal, no one loses.
It was the same situation after Durant joined the Warriors two years ago.On the MVP list in recent years, Durant has always overwhelmed Curry.The opponent was the MVP of Lianzhuang before, and he was the absolute core of Oakland.Of course, it still is.But eventually some sacrifices have to be made.And Curry is in a much better situation than Wade.After all, being on the list with Durant every year is also a recognition of his strength.This is also the reason why the Warriors are strong, and they have two regular season MVP-level players at the same time.
The current Thunder inevitably embarked on this path.The joining of Paul George made Westbrook, who had been delegating power to An Luo, completely let go.This is a mutual fulfillment.Westbrook needs helpers to help him bring the Thunder to the top of the league, so he must provide others with a better platform to show himself.Westbrook did it, so the Thunder did it.
This season, the Thunder has completely consolidated its position as the number one team in the league.Whether it is from the record or the performance of the star players, there is nothing that can be questioned.However, it is a bit surprising that the Big Three are all ranked in the top [-] MVPs.
This kind of thing happened to the Warriors.Green was on that list last season.Although it is only a flash in the pan, it is enough to prove that the Warriors are powerful.Including so far, the Warriors' Curry and Durant still occupy two seats on this list.Of course, the final selection has nothing to do with this list.But it's an endorsement of the players.
Paul George in his prime is having the best season of his career.Although the performance on the offensive end has some ups and downs, but on the defensive end, it is enough to compete for the best defensive player of the season.More importantly, almost all the players in the entire league who can fight tough battles are distributed in the third position.It can be said that the joining of Paul George gave them the confidence to face any team with a super small forward.If there is no Paul George, the Thunder will drop a lot on both offense and defense.Judging from the current form, Paul George is going for the double team, MVP, and FMVP this season.
It is a rare thing that Westbrook does not make this list.After all, he is capable of averaging a triple-double for three consecutive seasons.Although he seems to have completely lost his desire to score this season, he is getting closer to becoming an all-time passer.The far-leading assists per game and assist-to-turnover ratio make him the best No. [-] in the league so far.
What is more surprising is that An Luo appeared in it, and ranked higher than Westbrook.It is undeniable that this season, An Luo has indeed become the well-deserved number one scoring point in the Thunder.His stability and efficiency made Donovan and all Thunder players very relieved.But that's about it for his role with the Thunder.If you are looking for someone to compare, Thompson of the Warriors is the best object.At best, it can be regarded as a top three.Perhaps, if any 3D player with a more stable shooting is replaced, he can "swipe out" a dazzling statistic in the Thunder.
However, that's just a possibility.For any player who averages 30+ per game, it is extremely disrespectful not to put him in the MVP sequence for discussion.Even if his average data has nothing but points!In the past month or so, no player in this league has done better than An Luo in scoring.Being at the top of the scoreboard is proof.
Of course, for An Luo, that's the only way to go.For him, it's too early to talk about MVP.But whether it's himself, or those media and fans who don't hate him, they believe that as long as there are no accidents, one day, An Luo's name will appear among the historical superstars.The changes in the arena this year have already revealed a good signal: the era of An Luo has just arrived.
